DISCLAIMER: If you don't like crazy man theories, don't read this post

You know what's funny? When I was getting my tat done the tatooist started on an interesting story that I have heard echo'd over and over, but can't find any mention of it on the net... or anywhere else for that matter

Apparently, in the days of huge castle and keep battles, the warriors (knights if you will) were fed up on Wheat Beer, it seems that there is a high testosterone content in the beer which, along with the hype of impending battle, caused the warriors to go into a frenzy.

Apparently in the ~1200's or so, in an effort to calm the war mongering, the Catholic church introduced widespread use of beer made of hops, which just happened to have a calming effect because of it's high content of ESTROGEN.

To this day the theory states that a man's "beer belly" and man boobs have nothing to do with being fat, but all to do with the imbalance of Estrogen being introduced to the body by consuming volumous quantities of hops based beer. Quite simply, the theory says that a man gets boobs and a gut because it can't go to the hips the same as on a woman.

Seeing that I love my beer (as any red blooded male does), and that I could do to lose a few pounds, I decided to run a very scientimific little experiment. Instead of cutting out Beer and excercising like a crazy man, I decided to instead keep drinking my normal amount (once a week but not a huge amount).

I did that for 3 months and lost 6.5 kg's. There was no change in eating pattern or types of food from before the experiment either. Excercise wise I decided to cut out the gym for the time frame so it wouldn't be a factor and just did my normal uphill both ways walk to and from work.

As a side note, when out on the town I felt like I was on energy drinks, not the old sleepy and relaxed feeling after 6+ beers like normal. The downside though is that I am far more aggressive in a drinking environment, take from that what you will.

Now I drink nothing but Hefeweizen (cloudy, unfiltered) and Kristallweizen (crystal, filtered) beers and their many varieties. Specifically Hoegaarden and Erdinger. They are fantastic

Yes or no, true or false, its an interesting theory... i am not saying this is true, just that I DO believe it and that it is more than "mind over matter" in my case

*Ahhh*

*Wall of text critical hits me for 9000*

Haha interesting story but that's pretty bogus - Booze has nothing to do with it.

Drinking beer specifically doesn't make you fat, it's just that alcohol has too many kilojoules (calories in aus per drink (585 in a beer, 260 in a light beer), drinking regularly pushes up the amount of KJ you absorb, which is why you may put on weight.

Everybody's body is different. Two people may have exactly the same diets but the way their bodies handle the incoming fats and nutrients will be totally different.

Even if you're giving your body the right type of nutrients, it may chose to store them in fat cells (Just like before winter, a bear's body automatically stores everything the bear eats into fat cells, getting prepared for hibernation regardless of how healthy he may eat) or it may chose to take the nutrients and flush the crap out of your system.

If "man boobs" have nothing to do with being fat, why don't I ever see skinny guys with man titties?

thought I would see if anyone would fall for it and try a beer only weight loss scheme

After all, this IS the gibberish corner

That story is something that did the rounds of email quite a few years ago, about the time that newspaper article was published in NZ too (think it was in 1999)

But seriously, I love wheat beer, and it does have an energy drink effect... on me at least, I can go all night long
